A situation came up a franchise site that is a WordPress multisite installation, where we wanted to dynamically populate the signup location property for segmentation, set with the website URL. Following these instructions doesn’t work for this situation, though it is close. https://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/determine-webpage-signup-location. We also can’t do something like this (it didn’t seem to work): […]

I’ve got a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP and I was having intermittent air conditioning issues. It’s been 90, 100 in temperature, let alone the heat index. That’s pretty hot to be riding around without AC! Two years ago I had the AC compressor replaced, so I wasn’t expecting that to be dead again. Especially […]

I moved to Raleigh, NC just over 10 years ago. I travel home to Rochester, NY about 3 times a year to see family and friends, get away on a cheap vacation, and to dog and house sit while my mom goes on vacation. When I’m here to dog and house sit, I always have […]

I had a little bit of a struggle getting FTPS to connect and list the directory when logged in. I was getting errors 550, connect aborted by remote server on FileZille, error 162 PORT FAILED on Transmit. The regular FTP, port 21, was working fine, but moving to a more secure method, FTPS, that uses […]

This will be a short article using an analogy to get the point across in a way more people can understand. My wife and I have been saving up for a year (or more) to get new kitchen appliances. We are looking into a 4-piece set – an electric range, dishwasher, overhead microwave, and refrigerator. […]

With a new President comes complaints about some everyday topics like taxes, jobs, health care, retirement / social security, other government programs, etc. One topic I’d like to touch on just briefly is taxes. When taxes go up for any bracket, there’s uproar. One bracket that I’m for going up is for the “rich”. What […]

2 days ago we had tornado watches and warnings here in Raleigh, NC. The whole day consisted of a lot of wind and periods of heavy rain and then sun. It makes for an interesting time lapse video. Enjoy! Taken with an AXIS M3027 fisheye camera.
